Triggers of Chile’s mega-earthquakes
Nature Geoscience, 2023 Megathrust earthquakes along subduction zones present significant hazards. Evidence from the South Chile subduction zone suggests that the structure and fluid distribution of the megathrust interface governs the size and timing of large earthquakes.

Effect of tidal triggering on seismicity in Taiwan revealed by the empirical mode decomposition method [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2012 The effect of tidal triggering on earthquake occurrence has been controversial for many years. This study considered earthquakes that occurred near Taiwan between 1973 and 2008.

A review of tidal triggering of global earthquakes
Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2023 Earthquake prediction remains a challenging and difficult task for scientists all over the world. The tidal triggering of earthquakes is being proven by an increasing number of investigations, most of which have shown that earthquakes are positively ...

Interevent-time distribution and aftershock frequency in non-stationary induced seismicity
Scientific Reports, 2021 The initial footprint of an earthquake can be extended considerably by triggering of clustered aftershocks. Such earthquake–earthquake interactions have been studied extensively for data-rich, stationary natural seismicity.

Viscoelastic Slider Blocks as a Model for a Seismogenic Fault
Entropy, 2023 In this work, a model is proposed to examine the role of viscoelasticity in the generation of simulated earthquake-like events. This model serves to investigate how nonlinear processes in the Earth’s crust affect the triggering and decay patterns of ...
